Running WSE 2019 in workstation mode as the backup and fileserver for home lan of 10 devices. DrivePool F: has six matched HGST 12tb NTFS 64K sector drives and stores backups from all pc's. Everything fine until yesterday Scanner reports problem with one of your disks. The drive in question shows Current Pending Sector count 8 39.2% (which percent shows on LOTS of the SMART parameters) It is using non manufacturer specific interpretation rules - with new rules downloaded 01/15/2022 and restarted. Same error.
The WD Dashboard app did a short SMART test and reported drive 100% healthy no SMART errors. SOOOoooooo--- now what? I don't want to retire a perfectly good drive - or go through the days it would take to clone almost 9TB data to a replacement drive, but neither do I want to walk in and find it dead.
